Good luck to the CV Track Team at Districts in Fullerton tomorrow! Here is a schedule of events!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended the elementary music program last week! We hope you enjoyed our "Summertime" theme! A big shout out to Mrs. Katie Davis and Laretta Davis who decorated for the program! We would love to see your pictures with friends and family with all the decor from the program! Feel free to respond to this post and share your photos on the Central Valley Facebook page!

Due to incoming severe weather, Central Valley will be dismissing school early today. The elementary school will dismiss at 1:45 pm and the high school will dismiss at 2:00 pm.

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you CV teachers for creating a safe and nurturing environment where our children can learn, grow, and discover their full potential. Your ability to engage and motivate students is incredible, and it is clear that you genuinely care about their well-being and success. You go above and beyond to ensure that each child's unique needs are met. From guiding them through their first steps in reading and writing to instilling a love for learning, you make a lasting impact on their lives. Our entire CV community appreciates you ALL!

SPRING CONCERT TIME! This is just a reminder that the middle and high school band and choir concert will be this Thursday at the high school in the gym. The concert begins at 7 pm. Students need to arrive at 6:30 pm and wear nice dress clothes. We hope to see everyone there as our students perform one last time and we celebrate their accomplishments this year!

FFA Plant Sale runs from noon to 5:00pm today!!!! Come check us out!!

Our 4th grade students had a great time at the Ashfall Fossil Beds on Friday. They got to explore museum exhibits regarding the history of the park, walk several nature trails, talk with researchers about fossil excavation, and become kid paleontologists by digging in the fossil sandbox.

Happy School Lunch Hero Day! Thank you so much to Rose McManus, Helen Majerus, Tammy Wood, Bob Wood, Katie Davis, Dawn Bransfield, and Trevor Marlow for your hard work and dedication in providing tasty and nutritious meals to our Central Valley students. Your efforts ensure that the students are well-nourished and healthy, which greatly contributes to their growth, development, and overall success!

REMINDER: Any sports physical scheduled on or after May 1, 2024 is valid for the 2024-2025 school year! Contrary to popular practice, you do not have to wait until the day fall practices begin. :)

It was Pancakes with the Principal today at CVE. So proud of our April Cougar Community Recognition staff and Star Student winners. As always, thank you so much to the Central Valley PTO for providing the goodies, to Mrs. Julia Wood and Mrs. Mandy McClure for setting everything up, and to Mr. Tom for flipping up the pancakes. Keep up the great work, Cougar Nation!

Great work CVE's April Cougar Community Recognition winners! Our Star Student winners did an awesome job of working on RESPONSIBILITY all month long. Special thank you to Mrs. Jeni Leth, Mrs. Michelle Linke, and Ms. Gabby Martinez for their commitment and dedication to making Cougar Nation the very best. And congrats to Mrs. Julia Wood's 1st grade class for being our April Golden Spoon Award winner. Her class displayed excellent responsibility, manners, respect, and positivity in the lunch line, kitchen, and cafeteria the entire month. Keep shinning bright, Cougar Nation!

Dear Parents and Guardians, This is just a reminder that the elementary spring concert will be this Tuesday April 30th at 7 p.m. at the elementary gym in Scotia. The theme of our concert is “ALL THINGS SUMMER!” while we also celebrate the ending of another great school year! Concert attire is easy peasy summer breezy clothes…the more colorful and fun, the better! For example, t-shirts, Hawaiian shirts (extra cool!), shorts, sunglasses, flip flops or crocs. If the weather doesn’t provide us the warm weather we are hoping for, feel free to have your students wear layers until they get into the building. If it isn’t warm enough outside for summer clothes, inside should be! We can always “pretend” it is summer once they are inside! There are also some special requests the students as follows: The Kindergarten and 1st graders need to bring a rinsed out empty pop can and a small plastic or paper bowl that they can easily carry with them. I am sure you are all wondering about this request, but it will make sense to you when you come to our concert! ;-) The 2nd and 3rd graders need to make sure to wear shoes that slip off easily so they can get barefoot fast. (We will explain that later! HA!) The 4th graders need to remember to bring their recorders and their music from home if they have been practicing. (Hopefully they have been!) The 5th and 6th graders need to bring a fishing pole. Please only bring the pole itself and no hooks, bait and fishing wire. We are going for an “illusion” as opposed to the real thing. We also don’t want anyone to get hurt or “hooked!” Also, I know we aren’t near the beach, but if anyone would happen to have a “legit” surfboard, we would love to put it in our show!! Thank you in advance to anyone who can help with this!! Students need to check in with their teachers at 6:30 p.m. Band students need to get their instruments immediately after checking in with their teacher. The concert will begin at 7 p.m. We would also like to remind everyone of proper concert etiquette. The students have worked very hard to prepare this concert to their parents and the community. To ensure they receive the attention and respect they deserve during their performance, we kindly as the following: Please do not talk or make noise during the performance Silence cell phones and step out of the performance area if you must take a phone call If possible, only leave to go to the restroom during applause or grade level transitions If you have an extremely unhappy little one, please take them out and then bring them back in when they are happy again. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation! We look forward to seeing you at the concert!! Ms. Baker and Mrs. Sipes

The Goldenrod Conference High School Track Meet has been moved to Monday, at 10:00 am in Burwell. The Junior High and High School meets will run simultaneously. Schedule of events will be posted when available.
